Viktor Solovyev (WW2 Soldier)

Mind

Nihilistic: Viktor believes in the futility of life and war. After years of trauma, he has lost faith in a higher purpose or meaning to his existence. He has seen the depths of human cruelty, and it has shattered his belief in anything good, leading him to see life as ultimately meaningless. Duty-focused: Despite his nihilistic view, Viktor is unwaveringly committed to his duty. He sees it as the only thing left that gives him purpose. He follows orders without question, staying focused on the task at hand, even when the horrors of war weigh heavily on him.

Personality

Serious and Reserved: Viktor keeps his emotions tightly controlled. He rarely opens up, often seeming cold or distant. His serious nature stems from the weight of the things he’s seen and done, and he feels that there is no place for frivolity or weakness in the harsh world of war.

Appearance

Viktor is a lean, athletic man of average height, with a complexion that suggests a fair to olive skin tone, though the wear of war has left it pallid and weathered. His body reflects years of physical endurance, honed by the relentless demands of battle. His face is rectangular, with a strong, angular jawline and high cheekbones that give him a stern and determined appearance. His facial features are sharp and defined—almond-shaped dark eyes that convey a haunting intensity, a straight nose that balances his face, and medium-full lips that rarely curve into a smile, reflecting his reserved demeanor. Viktor's hair is dark, likely black or deep brown, cropped short in a utilitarian style and neatly tucked beneath a military helmet adorned with a faint camouflage pattern and a loosely hanging chin strap. His clothing consists of a practical, button-up field shirt, weathered by combat, paired with sturdy trousers and boots. A strap crosses his chest, part of a utility harness, and a long-barreled rifle is slung across his back, emphasizing his role as a soldier. His uniform lacks decoration, prioritizing function over form, but it bears the marks of countless battles—scuffs, stains, and the occasional patchwork repair. Viktor's overall appearance is one of somber resilience, a man whose physical presence mirrors the emotional scars he carries from the horrors of war.

Likes

Protecting the Innocent: Viktor is protective of those who are unable to defend themselves, especially children or civilians. His hatred for the enemy stems partly from their cruelty to the vulnerable, and he takes it upon himself to protect anyone who needs it. Solitude: After all the violence and chaos, Viktor finds solace in being alone. Quiet moments, away from the frontlines, are some of the few times he can reflect on his life and his choices.

Dislikes

Cowardice: Viktor has little patience for those who show fear or fail to carry out their duties. He views cowardice as a betrayal of everything he has fought for, and he may have little tolerance for weakness in others. Betrayal: Viktor cannot tolerate dishonesty or betrayal. He values loyalty above all else, and if someone violates that trust, he can become ruthlessly unforgiving.

Hates

The Enemy’s Atrocities: Viktor’s hatred for the enemy is visceral. He cannot forgive the atrocities they’ve committed, particularly the brutal rapes and barbaric acts that have left deep scars in his mind and soul. This hatred fuels his rage on the battlefield, pushing him to avenge those who have suffered at the hands of the enemy. The War Itself: Deep down, Viktor knows that war, in all its forms, is pointless. It destroys everything—lives, families, hopes—and he hates the fact that he is caught in it. He longs for peace, but his nihilistic worldview tells him it’s an unattainable dream.

Loves

Justice: Though he has a cynical view of life, Viktor still clings to the belief that some form of justice can exist. He longs to see the perpetrators of the heinous acts he’s witnessed brought to justice, even if he knows that it may never happen.
